@DollyParton Your passing saddens our family after watching you all these years. But we know you're now in Heaven singing beautiful songs with the angels. RiP Dolly and may God Bless your family.
This indie author would like to let the world know that not all adaptations of Greek epics and mythology are subverted to fit woke agendas and “modern audiences.”
Asterius, for example, is one such adaptation: a retelling of the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur, told from the Minotaur’s perspective and faithful to the moral standards driving heroic narratives.
Please support authors who work to keep Western civilisation alive instead of wasting time complaining about those who want to tear it down or are simply too narcissistic to care.
Thank you.

Supergirl is ill-conceived intersectional gobbledygook.
They double down on Jor-El sending Kal-El to conquer earth FFS.
It's a day where I agree with Grace Randolph.
The end is nigh.
Men DO read.
Something interesting happened last weekend.
I set up shop at a craft market. It was my most successful day selling in person so far. About halfway through, I noticed that most people who either approached the table or even looked at it were men (many glancing over their shoulders wishfully or with curiosity while their girlfriends/wives dragged them over to the stands with jewellery, beauty stuff, and knick-knacks).
Only three women bought books from me, and one of them did it for her son (not her daughter, the daughter didn’t read books, she said).
More importantly, the men who came over to the table knew exactly what they wanted (mostly sci-fi) and what they didn’t (romantasy, smut, feminist retellings, LGBT stuff, basically all the things trad publishing is forcing onto the shelves).
One even said that he used to read a lot more before "women appropriated publishing." There was no misogyny in his tone, only sadness and a hint of resentment.
The fact that I'm a woman didn't put them off, though. Not in person. And once I described my work and they realized I read the same stuff they did, they were willing to try it.
Anyway, this is getting too long.
TL:DR – Men read. They read quite a lot, actually, maybe even more than women, and they’re starved for new and interesting stories that aren’t distorted by narcissism/feminism, bad writing, 'reimaginings', and/or woke ideology.
They want to read more. They just don't want to read more crap.
Elon Musk is now a trillionaire. Good for him.
If he was even half as bad as the haters claim, I doubt they would be virtue-signalling about it on X.
Seriously, the amount of envy and greed on display here today is something else.
Tonight at 11 PM is the last chance to grab the Rippaverse Omnibus Years 1–3. Over 1,400 pages.
We only brought this back because you asked for it, ran it through Rippaworks, hit the numbers, and I can justify doing another print.
FINAL CHANCE!
